The faces of the five great heaven venerables were heavy.
They discovered the traces of battle here and also found signs of dark power. All of this pointed to one direction: a Demon Tribe spy.
This made Ancient Craftsman Venerable and the others gasp in shock.
They were not unaware of the existence of a Demon Tribe spy among the higher-ups of Heavenly Work; they had heard rumors long ago. The reason Ancient Craftsman Venerable rushed back from the Myriad Races Battlefield this time was precisely because he discovered a Demon Tribe spy in the Heavenly Work camp.
However, Ancient Craftsman Venerable never expected that among the heaven venerable experts in the Headquarters Secret Realm, there would also be traces of a Demon Tribe spy, which changed his expression.
Heaven venerable represents the level of vice hall master.
This was already the true top-tier figure in Heavenly Work, truly one person below the hall master and above ten thousand.
Besides the Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable, the vice hall masters in the Heavenly Work Headquarters Secret Realm could move freely and enjoy a noble status.
He couldn't understand why someone at this level would betray to pursue the dark power.
Was power really that alluring?
A group of people continued to investigate.
Soon, someone lifted their head; it was Supreme Weapon Venerable: “I have already received replies from my side.”
“I have also received replies here.”
The five great heaven venerables gathered together; they had come together, and at least for now, they seemed safe, as they were not the heaven venerable experts who had fought earlier and could be temporarily trusted.
“Among the remaining three vice hall masters, Blood Qi Heaven Venerable and True Heaven Venerable have replied. They are not in the Ancient Universe Tower, but Blade Perception Venerable has not replied for the time being.”
“Others from my side have also replied, stating they are not in the Ancient Universe Tower.”
“I have no news from Blade Perception Venerable either.”
Heavenly Venerable of Inquiry, soon-to-be heaven venerable, and the others summarized the information one by one.
“Very good.”
Ancient Craftsman Venerable raised his head, his gaze sharp: “The situation here is very serious. I hope everyone will keep this confidential for now and not let anything slip. I have recorded all replies regarding not being in the Ancient Universe Tower, and I have sent people to guard the Ancient Universe Tower Entrance. As long as a heaven venerable expert leaves, I will be informed.”
“I have also dispatched people.”
Supreme Weapon Venerable, a tall figure, chuckled coldly.
“So have I.”
Soon-to-be heaven venerable also said solemnly.
The five great heaven venerables looked at each other, their eyes filled with trust but also vigilance.
At their status, they all had trusted subordinates. It was easy to send a few people to guard the entrance of the Ancient Universe Tower and identify who left.
With such a situation arising, no one dared to say that others were completely trustworthy. Everyone was worthy of suspicion and needed to be cautious.
Ancient Craftsman Venerable glanced at the others and smiled: “Very good. Since everyone has made arrangements, that’s even better. We will each set up our own, and later pass the information to Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable. Under mutual supervision, as long as anyone lies, they will be immediately exposed.”
No one could be certain that among them there were no Demon Tribe spies. Although they trusted one another, necessary measures still had to be taken.
The others nodded.
This arrangement was very good.
Ancient Craftsman Venerable said in a deep voice: “By guarding the entrance and exit of the Ancient Universe Tower, we don’t have to worry about the person who acted before escaping. In such a short time, no matter how fast they are, it’s impossible for them to leave the Ancient Universe Tower without us noticing, so the person who fought earlier must still be in the Ancient Universe Tower.”
